I was working in my lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
When my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
(He did the mash)
He did the monster mash
(The monster mash)
It was a graveyard smash
(He did the mash)
It caught on in a flash
(The monster mash)
He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom (where the vampires feast)
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
(They did the mash)
They did the monster mash
(The monster mash)
It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash)
It caught on in a flash
(The monster mash)
Yes, they did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman,
Dracula and his son
The scene was rocking
All were digging the sounds
Igor on his chains backed by his hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
(With a vocal group: The Crypt Kicker 5)

They played the mash
(They played the monster mash)
The monster mash
(And it's a graveyard smash)
They played the mash
(It caught on in a flash)
The monster mash
Out from his coffin Drac's voice did a'ring
It seems he was bothered by (just one thing)
He opened his coffin and shook his fist
And said: "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
(It's now the mash)
It's now the monster mash
(The monster mash)
And it's a graveyard smash
(Yeah it's the mash)
It caught on in a flash
(Yeah it's the mash)
It's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them (scream)
Oh good, you're awake
Let's dance my darling
Shall we?
